Overview

The PA.711.A, also known as the Warrior, is a high-efficiency surface-mount ceramic chip antenna designed for 4G LTE and wideband cellular applications. It covers a broad frequency range from 698MHz to 2.69GHz, making it suitable for global LTE, UMTS, and GSM bands. This compact SMD component measures 40mm by 6mm and provides a low-profile solution for internal wireless communication in modern embedded devices.

Why Choose This Part

The PA.711.A offers high efficiency across multiple frequency bands with a peak gain of up to 4.1dBi, ensuring strong signal integrity. Its surface-mount technology (SMT) design allows for automated pick-and-place assembly, reducing manufacturing costs compared to wire-bonded or connectorized antennas. The wideband performance eliminates the need for multiple antennas in devices supporting global roaming.

Applications

4G LTE Gateways
Providing reliable cellular connectivity for industrial IoT gateways and routers requiring high efficiency across worldwide LTE bands.
Telematics Units
Ideal for vehicle tracking and fleet management systems where a low-profile, surface-mount internal antenna is required.
Smart Metering
Enabling long-range communication in utility meters using LTE-M or NB-IoT protocols within the 700MHz to 960MHz range.
Wireless Medical Devices
Integrating high-performance wireless connectivity into portable healthcare monitors and diagnostic equipment.

Getting Started

When integrating the PA.711.A, engineers must strictly follow the recommended PCB footprint and keep-out area guidelines provided by Taoglas to maintain antenna performance. Evaluation boards like the PAD.711.A are available to assist with RF matching and performance verification in the target environment. It is critical to perform impedance matching using a Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) to account for the specific enclosure and PCB stack-up.
